Upper Deck aims to floor Michael Jordan collectors

Upper Deck Authenticated unveiled on Tuesday its Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls Floor Collection, a product line that celebrates His Airness and also benefits the CharitaBulls Chicago Bulls youth organization.

As Jordan counts down the days until his enshrinement in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the line launches with pieces of the United Center floor where Jordan helped etch his legendary credentials up for grabs.

The Bulls won three of their six NBA titles at the United Center and nearly every square inch of its famous hardwood is available — even entire Bulls logos from the court.

“With Michael’s induction into the Hall of Fame on the horizon, we are excited to be able to give fans a chance to own a piece of basketball history and Jordan’s amazing legacy,” said Chuck Donato, business manager for UDA, in a release. “Through a partnership with the Bulls and our exclusive relationship with Jordan, the floor collection will provide fans with a wide assortment of prized collectibles ranging from small pieces of the floor all the way up to being able to own one of the full-size Bulls heads or the Chicago Bulls lettering from the baseline.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the CharitaBulls, a local Chicago youth organization, which has contributed tens of millions of dollars for a variety of worthy causes in the Chicago area.
